The 2012 British Supersport Championship will be supported by Moto♒rpoint after a new title sponsorship deal was agreed with series rights-holders MotorSport Vision.

Motorpoint is the UK's lead🧜ing car supermarket and takes over the title of primary BSS backers from Fuchs-Silkolene.

MCE British Superbike𒁏 Championship Series Director, Stuart Higgs, said: "I'm delighted to welcome Motorpoint as a championship partner. With their recent Yamaha Superbike team association they have already crafted a strong identity with 👍the series and I'm sure that this new partnership will elevate this even further."

David Shelton, Managing Director, Motorpoint, added: "We have been involved with the MCE British Supe🐲rbike Championship since 2009, so we are thrilled to continue our long-standing support as title sponsors of the British Supersport Championship, which offers a fantastic platform for the sport♔'s up and coming riders to launch their careers.

"It's a perfect fit for us given our own commitment to launch an apprenticeship programme in our ow𒈔n sites to develop the automotive industry's young rising stars, as well as some of the races being in close proximity to our Glasgow, Derby and Peterborough si🌞tes.

"In addition, one of our core values isꦉ building a positive team and family spirit, and nowhere is this more evident than in British Superbikes."

The Bri𝔍tishღ Supersport Championship is a breeding ground for the sport's future stars.

Last year, a ꦿgripping season-long title duel between Alastair Seeley😼 and Ben Wilson went down to the wire, with Seeley securing the crown by a single point following a drama-filled final two races at Brands Hatch.

Taylor Mackenzie, son of BSB hero Niall, makes his debut in the class on a Yamaha R6 for Northernꦡ Ireland team Mar-Train Racing this season.

Motorpoint has been a loyal backer🐠 of the rising young prospect and maintains that link with Mackenzie in 2012 afಌter coming on board as his official car supplier.

Meanwhile, leading motorcycle security company Datatag has also joined the British Supersport class asꦦ an associate partner. The series will be officially known a🦂s the Motorpoint British Supersport Championship protected by Datatag.

Higgs added: "I'm delighted to welcome Datatag as a new championship partner. The theft of motorcycles is of huge concern to the industry and this new association as a championship level partner wiꦐll increase the awareness of the issue and Datataﷺg's products to combat it."
